About this Item

54 issues, all measuring about 7" x 8.5". Various pagination, but mostly ca. 35-40pp., illustrated. All issues in very good or better condition; some with a few pen/pencil notations, but mostly quite clean. Large group of periodicals, mostly complete within the run of 1981-1986, with some issues lacking. Parents Without Partners is a national support group for parents who have lost their parenting partner, either through divorce, death, separation, or other means. Founded in New York in 1957, the organization's website describes its original founding as rooted in addressing the stigma of divorce, and the social costs that came along with it (esecially half a century ago). This Cleveland chapter (one of several just in the Cleveland area!) was quite sizeable, and produced a monthly newsletter filled with photocopied homemade advertisements for events, photographs of recent events and engagements, and articles encouraging members to better their lives through the organization. The frontmatter of each issue includes a mission statement from the organization, which reads in part, "The single parent in our society is isolated to some degree. The difficulties for providing both for ourselves and our children a reasonable equivalent of normal family life are increased by that isolation.[etc.]". Though the group has a national presence, most of the newsletters have a local focus. We do not locate any issues of this periodical in any libraries at the time of listing. Taken altogether, a richly detailed primary source portrait of the concerns of single parents during the 1980s.

Store Description

As a small, independent bookseller in Cleveland, Ohio, I deal in general used, rare, and antiquarian books, autographs, manuscripts, pamphlets, and personal and family papers in all subjects. My family has been in the antiquarian book business since 1971. Are you moving, downsizing, or doing some spring cleaning? Did you inherit or otherwise come into some old books? Or, maybe you've collected modern novels from the last thirty or fifty years. No matter what kinds of books you have, we'd love to take a look at them! We travel throughout Ohio, western Pennsylvania and New York, southern Michigan, and eastern Indiana, and will travel farther in some cases to look at whole libraries or even just a few particularly interesting books. Give us a call at (216) 352-3940 and we can talk more about the kinds of books you have.
